Sample vehicle history report

This is exactly what you get after checkout, for a real car. Every section renders for every VIN — when we have no record, the report says what we searched instead of leaving a gap.

The VIN is on the driver-side dashboard, the door jamb sticker, and the title.

Every value below is read from the sample report on this page. A dash means we hold no record for that field: we never fill a gap with a guess.

How to read the report below

Four things buyers miss on the first read.

  1. 1

    “Not checked” is not “clear”

    Title brands, theft and owners are marked “Not checked in this report”. We say what we did not search instead of calling the car clean.

  2. 2

    “None found” is a result

    When a section searched our records and found nothing for this VIN, it says what it searched. That is the answer you paid for, not a gap.

  3. 3

    Recalls are matched on the model

    Recalls, complaints and bulletins are published for the make, model and model year. Ask a dealer whether a recall was repaired on this car.

  4. 4

    A crash record has no severity

    A police crash report lists every car involved, including a parked car that was hit. It says the car was there, not how badly it was damaged.

Accident & damage records

1 record

Police-reported crashes and damage recorded when the vehicle was sold at a US auction.

  • Involved in a police-reported traffic crash (New York, 2021)

    A crash record means this vehicle was listed in a police crash report. It does not say how badly it was damaged or who was at fault — a parked car that was hit is listed too. The source gives the year only.

Searched: police-reported crash records and US auction records. Crashes never reported to police, and repairs paid privately or through insurance, are not in these records.

Salvage & auction history

None found

Each time this VIN was offered at a US vehicle auction we hold, with what the auction recorded.

This sample car has no auction record in the sample. When a VIN has been sold at a US auction, each sale is listed here with its date, state, damage, title, odometer and price.

Glossary

Model year
The year the manufacturer assigned to the model (10th character of the VIN). It can differ from the year the car was built or first sold.
Odometer rollback
Turning back an odometer so a car seems to have fewer miles. We flag it only when a later reading is lower than an earlier one and never recovers.
Salvage title
A title a state issues when an insurer or owner declares the vehicle a total loss.
Rebuilt title
A title for a salvage vehicle that was repaired and passed a state inspection.
Recall
A manufacturer campaign to fix a safety defect, free of charge at a franchised dealer.
Technical service bulletin (TSB)
Repair guidance a manufacturer sends to dealers for a known problem. Not a recall.
Police-reported crash
A traffic crash a police officer filed a report for. Being listed does not mean the vehicle was at fault or badly damaged.

About this report

This report lists the records we found for this VIN on the date shown. A clean report does not guarantee a clean car: many accidents, repairs and title events are never reported to the sources we search.

Always have a used car inspected by an independent mechanic and check the title before you pay.

Odometer readings are shown as recorded. Recalls, complaints and service bulletins are model-level information, not records of this vehicle.
